The number of counties a nominee carries by over 100,000 raw votes can be taken as a rough measure of his or her performance in population centres (although only if compared to temporally proximate nominees). A nominee can net 100,000 votes out of a county by winning it only moderately or even narrowly, but in that case, it would be a very large county. Conversely, a nominee can net 100,000 votes out of a county that casts not much over 100,000 votes by winning it by a very lopsided margin proportionally. (The two smallest counties to have been won by a > 100,000 vote margin this century are Utah County, Utah in 2004 [which cast 149,173 votes] and Marin County, California in 2020 [which cast 155,801 votes].) However, any county that is being won by at least 100,000 raw votes must, by definition, have cast at least 100,000 votes. In 1996, the CQ Almanac set 100,000 registered voters as the threshold for a 'populous beachhead' county. After 2016, 0ptimus and OZY conducted ...
